Don`t Let Little Girls Hold Your Hand In Havana Havana, when a little girl takes my hand. Her mother is nearby, and I think, this is cute,so I take my backpack off to give her some bubble gum. is holding, and to a store with a counter right on the street. She wants me to buy some milk for her baby. Reluctantly, I agree, as the little girl is still holding my hand, and it looks like I am heading for the store whether I like it or not. US $1 bills. The woman orders the milk, and it turns out to be a large bag of powdered milk for $23. This woman was pushing her good luck! I snatched the bills off the counter, and headed for the street. me. I took refuge in the shoe store next door, and noticed that a pocket was open on my backpack, and the plastic case inside was missing. It only contained my toiletry stuff, but the outside of it had a pocket where I kept my passport. to Canada was on Monday. Could I get a replacement that quickly? Was the Canadian Embassy even open on Saturday? to get my passport back, holding both hands up to indicate 10. Then, I stood out on the street, looking for a cop, like that would do any good. the shop comes running up the street with my case, pulling out the passport, and yelling "ten dollars, ten dollars!". my backpack on my front, rather than on my back. The "milk lady" denied knowing anything. offered the reward. They obviously checked the case, and saw there was nothing of much value inside.
